Jersey’s MONEYVAL report cements the island’s international credibility

25 July, 2024
Jersey Regulatory, Compliance & Legal Anti Money Laundering Financial Crime Board Evaluation

Following a visit from inspectors in 2023 Jersey this week received an exceptional evaluation from MONEYVAL, the Council of Europe’s Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism.

This extremely positive report is a testament to the island’s robust financial regulations and commitment to international standards, and bolsters Jersey’s reputation as a distinguished and responsible financial centre.

Jersey has consistently been one of the preferred destinations for secure and effective financial services. The report reassures clients that Jersey is a jurisdiction that is committed to combatting financial crime, as Jersey’s effectiveness in this area is among the highest level found in jurisdictions evaluated around the world.

Other key findings were:

  • Praise for Jersey’s accuracy and transparency of beneficial ownership information
  • Recognition of Jersey’s important and effective role in providing mutual legal assistance and other international cooperation
  • No “fundamental improvements” are needed to Jersey’s current regime

The MONEYVAL report highlights the vigorous measures that Jersey’s financial centre takes when dealing with counter terrorism financing.
